7.2Main Page

The Main page governs port access. Selecting a port and double-clicking it switches you to the device on that port.

•A monitor icon is in front of the port number. The monitor icon is green for ports that have devices connected to them that are powered on; otherwise, it is gray.

•If a port has been specified as a Quick View port (see below), a red eye icon is displayed along with the monitor icon to indicate so.

In addition to using this page to select ports to switch to, the administrator can also use this page to enable/disable Quick View status for selected ports, and to create, modify, or delete names for each of the ports. The following sections describe how to enable Quick View and how to assign names to ports.

7.2.1 Quick View Ports

Selecting certain ports as Quick View ports is a way of limiting which ports are displayed in the OSD List, and which ports are accessed when performing an auto scan. Once marked as a Quick View Port, you can set it up so only Quick View Ports are listed in the OSD Menu and/or accessed during and auto scan.

The spacebar toggles a port’s Quick View status. To select/deselect a port, highlight it and press the spacebar. When a port has been selected as a Quick View port, a red eye icon displays in the port icon column to indicate so. When a port isn’t selected, there is no red eye icon.

The drop down list on the left offers four fixed choices as shown in the table below:

The text input box on the right allows you to key in a port name so that only port names that match what you key in show up in the list. Wildcards (? and *) are acceptable and offer you more flexibility when searching. For example, if you want to find a server with the name Windows 2, type W*2 (the first and last character in the port name must be entered). If you want to find a server with the name Windows 1, type W??????1 (the first and last character in the port name must be entered) in the search box.

• After you key in your string, either click the binoculars icons to the right of the box, or press [Enter].
